Re: 67 912 my own take
Great project. In your intro you mention kids and belts, I used a set of TRS 4 point harnesses in the back of my 356 for my son at appx that age. They are made specially for Greenpower (electric racing cars for schools) and are a pukka race harness but in kids size. My son has now outgrown them (5'...

Re: 67 912 my own take
I guess that you've seen this picture of a SWB with 7 x 15" Torq Thrusts? I think that this was running 185/70s https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49717372783_e2da7ffe5f_c.jpg Yep got that pic. That’s good to know, I will try the Pirelli 185/70 on one and see what it’s like. Only a cool £1k f...

Re: 67 912 my own take
I have some very original and worn out CN36’s on the cookie cutters, was planning on swapping one over to trial fit. Will let you know, but that of course won’t happen until can get to a tyre place. Wish we had bought our own tyre machine.

Re: 67 912 my own take
I decided I couldn’t live with the black on the rear end, but I also didn’t want to do it ivory, as my car is already multiple shades of it and I like the look of some mismatched panels. So I painted the decklid in a shade of Grey from the VW colour charts as I had some, then thought I really like t...

Re: 67 912 my own take
So part collecting wise I now have almost everything for the car to go back together. Found a set of correct early headlights from a friend. After having fitted some later yellow lens glass to convert the ones I had to RHD. So those came back out and the early sloping glass sealed beam units went in...

Re: 67 912 my own take
Didn’t come from Steve, got these ones from the French Riviera. The ones from Steve would have been easier as I know him anyway

Re: 67 912 my own take
There was 3 early beetles in the unit, 56,54 and 51Dougieboy1 wrote:TorqueThrusts - got 'em on my 65 mustang. Along with Minilites, my favourite after market wheels.
Nice early-ish Beetle......
No 40’s ones any more. No Schwimmers either, you lucky dude!

Re: 67 912 my own take
So as I said, I started by just collecting parts. So, a complete engine was one of the first things. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200330/f4ef943a7feb2ea1a37b5cf745f5683b.jpg Hooked up to the 901 5 speed box to try it out, it’s a runner :) https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200330/a5cb80bede8da...

Re: 67 912 my own take
My plan is to build it as a bit of a race/911R inspired build, but with a full interior for now. I want to somehow figure out how to get a child seat in the back. As this will be our only aircooled for the family until my VW Squareback project is also finished. I don’t intend on building a replica o...

I will look forward to learning/seeing more about your 912. Mysterious looking shop it came from.
Best, John
It came from part of a very large collection, from a well known guy who is no longer with us unfortunately, it was all being sold off. Mine was one of the last ones out.
